Christmas Movies

Other than taking a break because I had to watch The Sound of Music live this week, I have been doing a great job with keeping up with Christmas movies this year. I have watched three from my list mentioned here but am working my way through my own collection below. I sometimes have to stop for the Lifetime and Hallmark channel movies. :) Still working on building my collection. I have added Rudolph, Polar Express, and A Christmas Carol to my collection but they are not pictured. Now pop in a holiday film and grab a mug of cocoa.

Holiday Favorites

Did I mention before that I love Christmas?! It really is so magical. My Christmas tree is up and part of the living room decorated. Wish I had more energy to do more but haven't recharged yet ;) My tree is absolutely beautiful to me. Our first 5 years of marriage our Christmas decor was red and gold and I grew tired of it quickly. I switched over to natural, woodland decor last year and it suits me so much! Because I'm just obsessed, I listed below some of my holiday favorites I'm looking forward to!

Favorite Holiday To Do's:

Decorating the tree, watching holiday movies, listening to holiday music, putting the reindeer ears on the car, wrapping presents, baking (uh hem, starting this year), drinking hot cocoa and apple cider!

Favorite Holiday Movies:

Elf, The Holiday, The Family Stone, The Santa Claus, Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer, Polar Express, It's a Wonderful Life, the original Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, A Christmas Carol, All I Want For Christmas, Noel, The Ultimate Gift, and Heidi (I know it's not a holiday movie, but the holidays are in it. Bless my heart.)

Christmas Reading List:

Holly, An Old Fashioned Christmas, Christmas on Jane Street

Favorite Holiday Songs:

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Judy Garland), Carol of the Bells, O Holly Night. I love ALL Christmas music but these three make my heart so warm.
